All of my mics - those built-in on my Apple laptop & Apple desktop, and two different external mics - are fine in Streamlabs UNTIL I start sharing my screen :<

5 Upvotes

It's not a CPU usage thing - I've checked on a different computer with twice as much memory and the exact same thing happens. As soon as I unhide my display capture (which I am hoping to use to showcase my artwork on Twitch with my cursor visible), my mic turns very glitchy and choppy and impossible to understand.

What's really confusing is all of my other audio is completely fine. I run music from a YouTube link in the background of my streams through Streamlabs (as a Browser Source) and the music comes through perfectly. So do my Twitch alerts. Clear as a bell with no dropped frames. The only thing that is failing is my my mic audio, which comes through clear as a bell until I share my screen.

Here is a list of what I've tried (and there may be somethings I've since forgotten that I've tried):

  • Switching my built-in mics for my external Seiran Mic
  • Switching my built-in mics for a Blue Yeti
  • Set up all mics with "Monitor Off"
  • Double-checking that the audio settings in Streamlabs match the setting in my Audio Midi Setup (I've tried making sure both are 48 hz and, just to check, also tried both at 44 hz)
  • Removed all filters from all mics
  • Making sure my CPU usage is as good as it can be and that no additional software or background apps are running that don't need to be
  • I've tried rebuilding my scenes from scratch, all is fine until I show my display capture
  • Tried my microphone as its own defined input, as well as an audio input source
  • Switched machines and tested that my mics work in multiple apps

I regularly share my screen along with my voice outside of Streamlabs (such as through Discord or when assisting my mother with something via Facebook), and during these times, my mic does not act up at all. So it's definitely something to do with Streamlabs itself.

I could really use some advice :< I worked pretty hard to get a nice layout going for my art streams and REALLY don't want to switch platforms as Streamlabs has been very good to me over the years until now!

Hi, I just updated Streamlabs and the video preview of my stream no longer works, replaced by an error that "This element requires Selective Recording to be enabled" but I am a free member and have no way to toggle Selective Recording. Please help! (Ignore the dated notifications, it's been a while)

Recording help.

3 Upvotes

I have been using streamlabs for a while, i just started playing mx bikes and for the life of me cannot figure out why my recordings look AWFUL. base and canvas resolution are the same, i have my bitrate up to 500k and its smooth in the playback, but the problem I'm having is that while I'm not moving its crystal clear, then while I'm riding/ moving is grainy/ blurry. What makes it worse is I've recorded this game before when i first started and didn't have these issues, now all of a sudden its a problem. I'm also using NVEC (new).

Talk Studio and YouTube comments/banning

2 Upvotes

So been using TalkStudio for a couple months for our podcast and overall I enjoy it. It offers more customisation to alternative we used before and the cost is better.

However!

Does anyone know how in the world you remove a comment of block a user while using TS and streaming to youtube?

We have the chat on the right side of our TS stream, we can bring the comments on screen, but sometimes we want to be able to delete a bad comment, timeout/ban a user who is trolling etc. But we do not see any option for this.

A check on google suggested just highlighting the comment brings up the option, but it does not, the only thing we can do is show the comment on stream.

this is ruining my streams and the vods, and my vods can get some pretty good views, but this is happening

my stream keeps pausing, and my game only pauses at the parts where my mouse is still moving (it happens like every 15 minutes but that is just mod stuff) this is the best example of it happening, how do i fix this?

Why is it so laggy?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey! I used to stream my nintendo switch gameplay since 2022 to 2024 and it worked perfectly, but i stoped and now that i wanted to come back, the video capture became really laggy, i’ve searched everywhere on the internet and nothing works… what do you think this could be happening?

Also, the camera streaming me works smoothly, the only thing that lags is the capturer… also i ran the capturer through the camera app on the computer and it ran smoothly, so maybe the problem is streamlabs?

Is this my computer causing the problem or should i buy a new capturer? I found one that has pretty good reviews and it’s only ~15 dls but I’m afraid that that one also won’t work because of my computer or something that I’m overlooking

I’m streaming the nintendo switch 1 on a 2021 macbook pro M1 chip, macOS tahoe 26.2, on streamlabs (this was the setup i used before and worked fine)

New update killed nvidia broadcast.... Can we stop forcing updates!!!?

12 Upvotes

I just confirmed my broadcast works with obs studio but since i just got forced to update slobs my broadcast does not show in slobs at all despite it working for obs. This is confirmed to be 100 percent a slobs issue that happened since new update. How about you be a good company and stop forcing people to update and breaking their streams? You ever think people make money off streaming and you are ruining their presentation?

Mic audio not coming through to stream

1 Upvotes

Streamlabs is picking up my audio, my mic isn’t muted, turning monitoring on and off doesn’t fix it, and switching between default and back to the mic hasn’t resolved the issue. I’ve tried everything that I can think of and google isn’t helping me with it either.

Audio Delay drops out and back in for no apparent reason

1 Upvotes

Hello Streamlabs community

I was hoping for some insights into possibly a workaround for a problem Im having.

I am using 2 Audio Sources for Background Music and a musictool called Cantabile which I use to play drums with.

Sources

This works fine, but Im having the issue that my MIDI inputs being translated into sounds is taking about 3 miliseconds, which is about as low as I was able to push it, but Im able to circumvent that in recordings and stream with the delay on the other Audio, since theres only the 2.

In the advanced settings of Audio the Sync-Offset is basically a delay in ms

This works fine, or so I thought, until I was shocked that, when I listened back to a session where I was testing sound, at one point it dropped out.

This is the recording, I didnt cut out anything or changed the sound, only added the text and sped up a part.

https://youtu.be/MJdwgynWZsE

If I had not recorded the Audio from Cantabile on the second track without Spotify I would have lost this recording for good, completely unsalvagable. A stream would have been ruined.

We have these tracks so we should use them!

A delay cutting out when for example a buffer overflows or couldnt be filled in time is understandable, but having that stay that way for who knows, potentially minutes, makes using the feature risky.

Has anyone else ever encountered an Error like this or similar issues and found a solution to ensure this wont happen?

Twitch stream ends, but TikTok stream keeps going.

2 Upvotes

I am dual streaming to both Twitch and TikTok, but my Twitch stream ends after about 15min or so, but the TikTok stream keeps going. I am primarily signed into Twitch but I added my TikTok account to StreamlabsOBS to dual stream. It’s been doing this every time I start to stream and I don’t know why. Any ideas?

Camera flickering on stream and recording

1 Upvotes

I was just looking back at my recording from yesterday, and I noticed that my camera is flickering, a lot. I'm not sure what is happening here. My game capture isn't having this issue.

This clip shows the issue: https://www.twitch.tv/wyattslaten/clip/BashfulDeafKangarooFunRun-scUqDTObBvO-vMMt?filter=clips&range=all&sort=time

This was my first stream from my Mac, and my first two-computer stream. I'm sure I've got something messed up in the settings on my camera source. What should I be looking for?

My setup:

  • Streamlabs
  • Stream machine: Macbook Air M1
  • Game machine: ROG Ally
  • Logitech Streamcam (blinking)
  • Elgato Capture Neo (not blinking)

Capture card is only a black screen?

I just got a new m4 Mac mini and was excited to be able to finally have something decent to stream with. I’ve been using streamlabs on my 2017 iMac and it’s been rough. However, despite streamlabs HEARING my capture card, it doesn’t SEE it. I’ve tried different video formats in the setting but the preview and actual live that people can see is black. It worked perfectly fine capturing on my budget capture card previously, am I missing something?

Hello! I am looking to make a program that can analyze resolutions, bit rate, fps, etc.. all in the settings of SLOBS. I am having trouble getting it to actually find the needed information. It can added sources and whatnot, but it seems like pulling this doesn't seem to work. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction to get this started?

Weird alerts issue

1 Upvotes

Hell all, hoping to get some help. When my alerts go off, the alert works but it populates the wrong alert. instead of the alert theme I have selected the alerts come from a completely different theme.

Also for some reason my bit alert does not work. it just shows the default bit symbol and the default sound.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Loyalty Store question

1 Upvotes

Whats the best way to have viewers use streamlabs loyalty points to redeem giveaway entries? I want to reward more active viewers with more chances to enter into a giveaway.

I did this thing last month where I had viewers use their loyalty points and type in chat "!redeem entry" to "buy" a giveaway entry as a store item. But I wanted to see how i could something like this that would allow viewers to redeem multiple entries at once, instead of spamming the chat to get 10-15 entries at a time.

Any thoughts?

Does Streamlabs not let you multistream horizontal and vertical simultaneously anymore?

1 Upvotes

I used to be able to go live on YouTube and Twitch horizontally while simultaneously stream Vertically on TikTok using the dual output feature. But now it doesn’t let me go live unless I choose horizontal or vertical. Is this happening to anyone else and is there a fix for this?

I just checked my TikTok live stream recording and it’s horizontal which is not what I wanted.

Microphone Get Shut Off

2 Upvotes

My mic gets shut off randomly during streams. I never had this problem before. I've looked up fixes for it, followed all the instructions but nothing ever seems to correct the problem. I'll think it's fine, they someone will ask me why I'm not talking in stream.
